Using Tech to Help Stick to Those New Year’s Resolutions

2014 is now underway, and many people have made a New Year’s resolution to be healthier. Easier said than done, right? Here are some ways that tech can help.

If Santa brought you a new FitBit device, the FitBit New Year’s Group can help you stick to your goal of being more active. Also, every Monday for six weeks starting January 6, FitBit will be launching a new weekly challenge to get your moving. These challenges will feature tips and helpful advice from Fitbit ambassadors to help you stick to the weekly goal. You can also tweet your progress with #FitBit2014 for a chance to win a prize.

If you use a FitBit or other type of tracking device or service, you can sign up for the Fit Pursuit 2014 challenge on EveryMove.org. Here, you can set a goal for yourself and if you meet it, you’ll be entered for a chance to win a prize of your choosing: an Xbox One, a $50 iTunes gift card, and more.

We all know that exercise is its own reward, but sometimes it’s nice to have a chance to win a little something extra as well. Here’s to a happy and healthy 2014!
